I like Elizabeth Warren. I had hoped that she would capture the nomination. She would have been a great president I believe. But that hope is fading and if she does poorly today, I would think it is time to exit the race. Why her campaign didn’t register as I and many others had hoped is likely the result of many things. One is sexism. The shadow that it casts is far larger than many people across the political spectrum will admit.
When asked to explain the outcome of the South Carolina primary, Michael Moore just said on MSNBC that the state isn’t representative of the country. I would like to say I’m surprised, but I’m not.
This is part of a larger problem in the Sanders campaign.
To suggest, as Bernie did today, that anybody that isn’t on Bernie’s team is a “corporate” Democrat is pernicious and divisive. It isn’t strategic, not even good tactics, especially if you’re the front runner and likely nominee.
When moderates drop out of the race and consolidate around Joe Biden it isn’t a conspiracy or rigged, it is predictable and normal.
Both Bernie and Biden can beat Trump. To say that nominating one or the other forecloses that possibility rests more on ideological disposition than reality and facts.
